^why so early? 

I'm more excited for being able to do things outside again.
This winter has been rough on me.  I hate being stuck inside and not able to go anywhere.

Will be there Friday.  Those of you that get to go tomorrow, be thinking of me - I'm trapped at school until 7pm with Parent/Teacher conferences.

AVOID:
Applebee's.  They have the absolute worst service I've ever seen at a restaurant.  I cannot even begin to put into words how frustrating this place is.

Olive Garden.  Forget getting a table within an hour of arriving.  You might as well put your name on the list and then go watch a show and come back.  You might actually have a table by then - and even then the service sucks.

^The Street Troupe performed last year too, but it was not on a set time in the Path Finder

I should have responded that they could just use Swoosh's.....

LOL.  You leave me out of it.  I don't need Lisa, Martha and Crystal mad at me.

FYI rumor:  SDC officials want to move away from any "hillbilly" or any "derogatory" characters.  The "new" corporate image may be showing it's ugly face, so, if any of you miss any familiar "characters", PLEASE pass along your disapproval to the appropriate management...

So does that mean they've moved out of the caboose finally?

Once I hit Spring Break, the "hard part" of the school year is over. 
I have MSHSAA District Solos this coming weekend and then the District Band contest the following weekend with the JH/HS Spring Concert on the following Monday.

Only think I really have after Easter is a marching competition in May and the elementary band concert at the end of April.... oh and graduation, but that is no biggie.

We have 46 days left as of Monday

Friday was the last day of classes for 3rd Qtr (even with the pushed back start and all of the snow days) - so grades are due on Lumen Monday at the end of school... Parent/Teacher Conferences are Thursday (otherwise I'd be at SDC) and then no school Friday (which is why I will be at SDC that day).

Spring Break starts on the 31st and goes through the 6th.

We'll be there on Friday, so if photos have not been posted by then, we'll have some up on Saturday on MiG (we'll have them up regardless)

You've got that right.  And it's going to get worse before it gets better.

...see also the KC school district

Illinois?
Good luck getting anything accomplished over there with their NEA.

Luckily over here we have MSTA and people actually willing to work for the teachers.

Of course some of the school districts are looking at eliminating ag classes and art and music classes from the curriculum next year.

They can't legally do that in Missouri.  I honestly do not think it is legal anywhere else either.  DESE has pretty strict rules anymore about cutting the arts.

I didn't stay for that part of the meeting today to see what our district is going to do (since I am not "old enough" yet to be on career ladder).

The good news in our area is that we are going to be getting a bunch of wind turbines (like over 100 or more) and that will bring in a surge of $400,000 a year for the next 20 years.  That will sure help with rennovations and such.  There was even talk about just building a whole new school.  We'll see about that though.  lol

^Did you hear Career Ladder is pretty much dead in the water now.

Thanks for doing all those extra hours, but we ain't paying you squat for it.
